The hard part, done in minutes

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to buy a real flight ticket before applying?
No — embassies explicitly advise not to purchase your ticket until the visa is issued. What they ask for is a flight reservation (a bookable itinerary with a PNR), which is exactly what HatVisa provides.
Can I visit other Schengen countries with a Austria visa?
Yes. A Schengen visa is valid for the whole Schengen area. However, you must apply through the country that is your main destination — the one where you spend the most nights.
How much money do I need to show in my bank statement?
There is no single official number, but embassies want to see that you can comfortably cover flights, accommodation and daily expenses for your whole stay, with a stable account history — not a large deposit made just before applying.
How long does a Schengen visa take from Jordan?
The standard is 15 calendar days after your appointment, but it can extend to 45 days in busy seasons. Book your appointment early and apply well before your travel date.
